I’d like to invite all of our CPAG partners and participants to join the CPAG Agenda Planning Call this Friday.

   Friday, January 25th

  11:00 – 12:00 (one hour later than usual)

   New call in codes for 2019:

  Toll-free number: 866 757 5788  or  Toll number: 760 699 0922

  Conference ID: 847 920 2103

 We’ll be reviewing the annual planning calendar – see attached and pasted below.  Because January’s meeting was cancelled, we have to adjust the schedule and topics.  I’ll also share some early logistics for our Annual CPAG Planning Summit to be held in Las Cruces on May 14-16.

 Usually we also talk about membership via the Parity, Inclusion and Representation (PIR) Committee that happens during the Agenda Planning Call.  However, since we are starting the new planning year now and have no applications for membership pending, we don’t have any PIR action items.

 Please let me know if you have any questions.

 Thanks,

A

Greetings all –

 A few updates about the New Mexico HIV Community Planning and Action Group (CPAG) for 2019!  Our first statewide meeting on Friday, January 11th is less than a month away!

  CPAG will continue to have     monthly meetings on the 2nd Friday of the month starting at     9:30 am at Alamosa Community Center in Albuquerque.  The attached     calendar lists the annual schedule.      We will be meeting in:  January, February, March, August, September,     October and November.  (We will not meet in April, June, July or     December!)            

We will tentatively be having     the Annual Planning Summit on May 14 – 16 in Las Cruces.            

Your new statewide co-chairs     are:       Community Co-Chair:  Miss Mattee Jim       Persons Living with HIV (PLWH) Co-Chair:  Jeffrey Hurley  (newly     elected to 2-year term)       NMDOH Co-Chair:  Andrew Gans            

CPAG will strive to be a venue     for training and cross-training of individuals working in and advocating     for the fields of HIV testing/prevention and HIV care/support     services.  Rather than a focus solely on monitoring and evaluating     progress on our 2016 Integrated Plan for HIV Prevention and Care,     we have 3 new goals for CPAG during 2019.

 Improve services and outcomes across the HIV care      continuum by ensuring that staff are cross-trained on HIV prevention and      HIV care/support services.

 Reduce health disparities related to HIV by improving      staff training and access to diverse resources across a variety of social      indicators including immigration status, behavioral health, and      criminalization of infectious disease.

 Inform stakeholders of program activities and data to      assess progress with and barriers to implementation of objectives in the Integrated      Plan.                  

 Keynote presentation in the      morning, up to 90 minutes, on one of the topics identified in September      2018.                  

 Agency presentation in the      afternoon on their array of HIV prevention and care services.       Presentation may be a PowerPoint, informal talk, staff panel, or any      other format.  Will include answers to key questions.      - How do you promote the Undetectable = Untransmittable campaign and      information?      - How do you recruit clients and promote utilization of PrEP by those at      greatest risk?      - What is the continuing impact of stigma on your activities and/or your      clients in HIV prevention and care?      - What work are you doing to continue to share information and reduce      stigma in the communities you serve?                  

 One interactive or      team-building activity.  Can be led by the agency that is featured      as the presenter for the month.                  

 Standing topics, including      PIR/Membership, reports from Regional Advisory Groups (RAG), etc.                  

 Please let me know if you have any questions.

 Thanks,

[nmcpag]

This month we will have a great panel/discussion with our HIV Service Providers (HSP).   This will allow for a great opportunity to interact with the HSPs about available services.
